Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 149 Recall
Shen Fuyu immediately confirmed his guess that the black-faced guard was definitely an insider.

He must have been bribed by Murong Yue to participate in this incident.

Shen Mengning's cuffs were also clean, and the black-faced guard's expression changed slightly.

As if he couldn't believe it, the black-faced guard checked again without giving up, but there was still nothing on the cuff.

How could this be?
Didn’t Princess Murong take action?
"Sir, you are being unfair. You only checked the cuffs of the three of us. Don't you think others would cheat?"

Shen Fuyu did not give the black-faced guard a chance to refute, and cast his eyes on the examiner with a sense of oppression.

"Examiner, since you are presiding over the Tongsheng examination, I believe that all students present need to review it again to ensure fairness."

That’s right, Shen Fuyu is dragging his feet.

Even if so many people pleaded with Shen Mengwu, the examiner would not agree to give Shen Mengwu special treatment.

But in order to ensure fairness, the students were re-examined. There were thousands of people present, which was enough to delay the process for a while.

"Yeah, who can guarantee that the others don't have ink on their clothes or cheat sheets? I support a recheck."

"We study so hard to succeed, and we absolutely cannot allow those with ulterior motives to use shady tactics to suppress us."

"Yes, yes, it's fair! Examiner, we just want fairness. Please check it again."

"Why? The exam is about to start. How much time will it take to review it again? Time is money. Do you understand?"

"Anyway, I didn't cheat. I'm willing to re-examine. You must be feeling guilty if you disagree!"

Lu Mingtang looked at Shen Fuyu deeply and realized that Shen Fuyu was delaying time.

This method is really advanced.

The examiner hesitated for a moment and felt that what Shen Fuyu said made sense. Even if this matter reached the ears of His Majesty, he could not be blamed. After all, it was to ensure the fairness of the Tongsheng examination.

Thinking of this, the examiner no longer hesitated.

"it is good!"

"This was an oversight on my part. Please line up again so we can check everything again."

"I will notify everyone that the exam will be delayed by one hour. I will be solely responsible for any consequences."

Shen Fuyu breathed a sigh of relief. When the examiner wanted to organize a re-examination of the cheating situation, Shen Fuyu said, "Examiner, why don't you give Shen Mengwu a chance in the hour we have? Let us prove our innocence. Shen Mengwu did not cheat. Someone deliberately framed her."

Shen Fuyu's beautiful eyes were clear and serious, bright and without a trace of impurities. Under Shen Fuyu's gaze, the examiner believed Shen Fuyu for some reason. Since the exam had to be delayed for an hour anyway, he might as well give Shen Fuyu a chance.

"Yes, provided that the evidence you produce can convince everyone."

Mrs. Shen then stepped forward, and without even having time to comfort Shen Mengwu, she hurried to Shen Fuyu's side.

"Is it a clothing store?"

Mrs. Shen went straight to the point.

Shen Fuyu nodded and motioned Mrs. Shen to bend down. Shen Fuyu stood on tiptoe and whispered in her ear.

Mrs. Shen's face was serious and she obeyed Shen Fuyu's every word.

Lu Mingtang's eyes fell uncontrollably on Shen Fuyu. He was quite surprised at the way Shen Fuyu and Madam Shen got along. Although he could feel that Shen Fuyu's status in the Shen family was different from that of ordinary servants, Lu Mingtang really didn't expect that Madam Shen would attach so much importance to Shen Fuyu.

Faced with such a situation, Madam Shen actually chose to listen to Shen Fuyu's arrangements. She was overstepping her authority.

Four words popped up in his mind, and then Lu Mingtang shook his head again. What was meant by "overstepping one's authority" only showed that Shen Fuyu was capable.

Murong Yue, hiding in the corner, stamped her feet, very dissatisfied with the development of the situation. Damn it! Shen Fuyu always ruins good things.

However, why are Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengning fine? It was obvious that everything was done.

Murong Yue frowned, puzzled. If she wasn't afraid of exposing her identity, she would have wanted to run out and question him on the spot. After taking several deep breaths, Murong Yue barely suppressed her impulsive thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Master Shangguan also hurried over.

Shen Mengwu looked at Master Shangguan with fear, fearing that he would blame her without any reason. Shen Mengwu bit her lips tightly and resisted the urge to cry. Unexpectedly, Master Shangguan ignored Shen Mengwu at all. Instead, he picked up the cheat sheet that fell on the ground. Master Shangguan observed it carefully, and then looked at the examiner with a firm look.

"Mingxue, Shen Mengwu is my student. She doesn't even care about getting last place on the test, so how could she possibly do something like cheating?"

"Someone is constantly interfering, and the science of name needs to be thoroughly examined."

The examiner may not listen to what others say, but he has to listen to what Master Shangguan says.

Chen Mingxue nodded seriously and said that he would investigate the truth of the matter thoroughly.

Shen Mengwu's tears fell, unable to control herself any longer. She hugged Master Shangguan and sobbed, "Wow, Master, it's so great that you believe I'm innocent. Master, I feel so wronged. I don't know why things turned out like this. There were no words when I changed into new clothes this morning. How come words suddenly appeared when I took the exam?"

Master Shangguan softened his heart for once. He touched Shen Mengwu's head and said gently, "Don't be afraid. Master has your back. No one can frame you."

"False accusation? Old man Shangguan, you can't protect your own people like this. The evidence is right here, and you are still lying with your eyes open." As soon as Ge Yan saw Master Shangguan, he popped his head out and scolded Master Shangguan without saying a word.

"Tsk tsk tsk, teaching a student like this, old Shangguan, your good reputation is completely ruined."

There was undisguised schadenfreude in Ge Yan's eyes.

Master Shangguan flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "I will investigate the truth of the matter myself."

"Instead of taking the time to gloat over someone else's misfortune, you might as well focus on researching how to improve your teaching and produce more top students."

After throwing down these words, Master Shangguan was too lazy to continue paying attention to Ge Yan.

Ge Yan was so angry that his nose was crooked. He was mocking that old man Shangguan was mocking him.

Shen Fuyu didn't pay any attention to this little episode at all. Her attention was all on the cheat sheet. She took it and smelled it carefully.

There is a light grapefruit fragrance.

Since there are no marks when wearing clothes, does it mean that some special methods are needed to make the ink visible?

Although it was only a short three quarters of an hour, Shen Mengwu came into contact with many people.

Shen Fuyu's brain was working rapidly, and he carefully recalled who Shen Mengwu had come into contact with. Most of them were people Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengning had also come into contact with.

However, there were no words visible on Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengning's clothes.

So...where does the problem lie?
Shen Fuyu touched his chin, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Black-faced guard!
